CVE-2024-9024
Status: AnalyzedMedium (5.4)—
The Material Design Icons plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the plugin's mdi-icon shortcode in all versions up to, and including, 0.0.5 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user supplied attributes. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with contributor-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.
CVSS
- Version: 3.1
- Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N
- Base score: 5.4
Exploitation probability (EPSS)
- Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.42%
- Percentile among all scored CVEs: 34
- Score date: 10/6/2026
EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, FIRST) estimates how likely a vulnerability is to be exploited in the wild within 30 days. It complements CVSS (impact) and CISA KEV (confirmed exploitation).
